Platforming is fine. Stellar Blade is just not automatic like a lot of modern games. Take Assassin's Creed II vs. a modern one. Back then, success and failure were entirely in your hands. Modern ones make the climbing almost automatic, taking player agency away, and when it fails, it's more the game's fault. A lot of modern games make things more automatic. This is similar to playing Ninja Gaiden II vs. Ninja Gaiden 3/Razors Edge. Wall running and platforming are more automated in 3. Stellar Blade puts it all in player control. So failing is really on you. Said it before but the demo is the tutorial area before the game opens up. The platforming became second nature the more I played and honestly didn't take very long at all to adjust. I'm sick of games taking player agency away so I quite enjoyed the platforming as I was in full control and once it works it feels great.

You're in for a treat. I'm currently playing Astrobot and while great, it isn't as fun as Stelar Blade. 

I love response-threads. lol

Great game, definitely GOTY 2024 for me. The combat system and music are just masterpieces.

Demo was meh.

Seems to be an average game propped up by tits and ass.

The game ends just when it starts getting interesting lol. Either they ran out of budget, or devs don't understand pacing and narrative.

The game should have launched as a ps plus monthly title , or at half the cost.

Wrong on both.

It's coming to PC in June, so I'll play it and judge it for myself. I'm excited, though.

Also, good thing it uses Unreal Engine 4, so there's a 90% of chance my PC can afford to run it.

Dont judge me, but I'll buy again for the mods
